How Menthol Crystals are formed

Natural Menthol Crystals are produced through a labor intensive process dating back hundreds of years. This tradition employs mint farmers, distillers and manufacturers from Northern India and other mint growing regions. Mentha Oil is made from mint plants specifically Corn mint (Mentha arvensis) and Peppermint (Mentha piperita). The leaves and whole plants of mint crops are steam distilled to form the oil. Mentha Oil distilled from Corn mint, contains higher concentrations of the active component, L- Menthol.

The Mentha Oil is carefully filtered to remove water and naturally occurring impurities. It is then cooled incrementally over a period of time. After cooling, the crystalline portion is isolated from the remaining dementholised oil (DMO). The crystals are spread out in a room designed to slowly dry them with a stream of temperature controlled air.

Menthol is the backbone of Peppermint flavored products as well as Menthol products. Menthol crystals give products such as toothpaste and mouthwash a characteristic mint flavor profile.

Menthol is not readily soluble in water, though it melts in warm water. Menthol Crystals completely dissolve in pure alcohol.

Storage
Store in a cool area, away from windows, as the crystals easily melt in warm conditions.

Usage
Add the crystals to a lightweight oil and heat on 5-second bursts until they're melted. Use at 0.5-2% of the total weight of your project.
